    Dear Fellow Stockholder:
    You are cordially invited to attend our 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time on June 11, 2025 at our San Diego offices located at 11440 West Bernardo Court, Suite 100, San Diego, California 92127. The business that will be conducted at the Annual Meeting is described in the Notice of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement.
    We would like to take this opportunity to highlight notable achievements during this past year, which was in the context of what we saw as a very challenging environment for the cannabis industry. We generated over $308 million in revenue and $256 million of adjusted funds from operations and returned over $211 million to stockholders through dividends, continuing our track record of increasing our annual dividends each year since our inception in 2016.

    Investing in Our Team

We hire talented employees with diverse backgrounds and perspectives and work to provide an environment with regular open communication where capable team members have fulfilling careers and are encouraged to engage with and make a positive impact with business partners and in the communities in which we operate. Attracting, developing, engaging and retaining our gifted team members, who help create long-term value for our stockholders, is an absolute priority.
    To invest in our employees and foster a sense of shared purpose, we offer a variety of programs aimed at bettering the lives of our team members, including:
    •
    Highly competitive compensation (including salary, cash incentives and equity), including a 401(k) plan with matching contributions;

    ​
    Investing in Our Communities
    We believe the most profound impact we and our tenant partners make is through the positive economic contributions we and our tenants bring to our own communities and the communities where our facilities are situated. Many of these areas have experienced significant challenges, including job losses and economic downturns due to industry shifts and migration of businesses. However, together with our tenants, we have demonstrated the ability to bring back good jobs, economic activity and much needed benefits to the people of these communities. Our efforts also contribute to key tax revenues that help reinvest in public services, such as schools and healthcare, fostering the renewal of these communities.
    In addition to these economic benefits, our employees and board members remain committed to giving back. In 2024, we organized three volunteer days at the corporate level and donated approximately $50,000 to local food banks in the areas where we own properties, reinforcing our ongoing support for the communities we serve.
    Investing in Our Properties
    Our properties are mission-critical for our tenant partners, featuring specialized buildouts with precision environmental controls for producing high-quality, consistent cannabis products at scale. The nature of our business model and the relationships we have with our tenants means that we are providing the capital resources necessary for them to make a variety of upgrades to the properties. Cannabis cultivation requires substantial energy, water and other inputs to optimize yields and achieve the desired product attributes. The capital we invest often goes toward improving energy and water efficiency, along with other enhancements, allowing the tenants to operate their business more efficiently while reducing their environmental impact. Many of our projects focus on redeveloping existing industrial buildings. By revitalizing previously vacant or under-utilized spaces, we reduce demolition and landfill waste, resulting in meaningful embodied carbon savings.
    Additionally, we collaborate with our tenants to improve the energy efficiency and environmental performance of our properties. This includes funding upgrades like lighting improvements, building management systems, stormwater management, heating, ventilation and air conditioning enhancements, tiered cultivation systems, advanced irrigation, health and safety systems and greenhouse construction.
    Corporate Governance Highlights
    We are committed to strong corporate governance and transparency for our stockholders. We operate in a young, highly regulated and rapidly evolving industry that necessitates strong management, and unwavering commitment to ethics and compliance and the ability to adapt quickly to new market conditions. We continue to maintain the following corporate governance practices to enhance the company’s reputation for integrity and serving our stockholders responsibly:

    PROXY STATEMENT
    ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
    TO BE HELD ON WEDNESDAY, JUNE 11, 2025
    We are furnishing this proxy statement in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the board of directors (the “Board”) of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “us”) for use at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”), to be held at 8:00 a.m., Pacific Time, on Wednesday, June 11, 2025 at 11440 West Bernardo Court, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92127, as well as in connection with any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. This proxy statement is first being furnished or sent to stockholders on or about April 29, 2025.
    Unless contrary instructions are indicated on the proxy, all shares represented by valid proxies received pursuant to this solicitation (and not revoked before they are voted) will be voted:
    •
    FOR the election of the Board’s nominees for director, or for a substitute in the discretion of the designated proxy holders in the event a nominee is unable to serve or declines to do so;
    ​
    •
    FOR the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025; and
    ​
    •
    FOR approval on a non-binding advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers.
    ​
    As to any other business which may properly come before the Annual Meeting and be submitted to a vote of the stockholders, proxies received by the Board will be voted in the discretion of the designated proxy holders. A proxy may be revoked by written notice to the Secretary of the Company at any time prior to the Annual Meeting, by executing a later dated proxy or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. Attendance at the Annual Meeting will not, by itself, revoke a proxy.
    Stockholders can vote in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. There are three ways to vote by proxy:
    •
    By Telephone — Beneficial stockholders who received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice of Internet Availability”) and who live in the United States or Canada may submit proxies by telephone by calling the telephone number indicated in the notice and following the instructions. Beneficial stockholders who have received a paper copy of a proxy card or a voting instruction card by mail may submit proxies by telephone by calling the number on the card and following the instructions. Stockholders submitting proxies by telephone will need to have available the control number that appears on their Notice of Internet Availability, proxy card, or a voting instruction card, as applicable.
    ​
    •
    By Internet — Beneficial stockholders who received a Notice of Internet Availability may submit proxies over the Internet by following the instructions on the notice. Beneficial stockholders who have received a paper copy of a proxy card or voting instruction card by mail may submit proxies over the Internet by following the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction card.
    ​
    •
    By Mail — Stockholders who received a paper copy of a proxy card or voting instruction card by mail may submit proxies by completing, signing and dating their proxy card or voting instruction card and mailing it in the accompanying pre-addressed envelope.
    ​
    We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies. In addition to the use of mail, proxies may be solicited by personal interview, telephone, facsimile, e-mail or otherwise, by our officers, directors and other employees. We also will request persons, firms and corporations holding shares in their names, or in the names of their nominees, which are beneficially owned by others to send or cause to be sent proxy materials to, and obtain proxies from, such beneficial owners and will reimburse such holders for their reasonable expenses in so doing.
    Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Stockholder Meeting to Be Held on June 11, 2025

    TABLE OF CONTENTS​
     
    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS REGARDING THE 2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
    Who is soliciting proxies from the stockholders?
    Our Board is soliciting your proxy. The proxy provides you with the opportunity to vote on the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting, whether or not you attend the meeting.
    What will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
    Our stockholders will vote on three proposals at the Annual Meeting:
    1.   The election of five directors, each to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until his or her successor is duly elected and qualified;
    2.   The ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025; and
    3.   An advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers as disclosed in this proxy statement.
    Your proxy will also give the proxy holders discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by the proxy on any matter, other than the above proposals, that is properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting.
    How will we solicit proxies, and who bears the cost of proxy solicitation?
    Our directors, officers and employees may solicit proxies by telephone, mail, facsimile, via the Internet or by overnight delivery service. These individuals do not receive separate compensation for these services. Finally, in accordance with regulations of the SEC, we will reimburse brokerage firms and other persons representing beneficial owners of our common stock for their reasonable expenses in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.
    Who can vote at the Annual Meeting?
    Our Board has fixed the close of business on April 14, 2025, as the record date for our Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record on that date are entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Annual Meeting. As of April 14, 2025, our only outstanding class of voting securities was common stock, $0.001 par value per share. On that date, we had 50,000,000 shares of common stock authorized, of which 28,011,229 shares were outstanding.
    If you (and not your broker) are the record holder of our stock, you can vote either in person at the Annual Meeting or by proxy, whether or not you attend the Annual Meeting. You may vote your shares on the Internet, via telephone, or, to the extent you request written proxy materials, by signing, dating and mailing the accompanying proxy card in the envelope provided. Instructions regarding the three methods of voting by proxy are contained on the Notice and the proxy card.
    How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?
    A “quorum” must be present to hold our Annual Meeting. The presence, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting constitutes a quorum. Your shares, once represented for any purpose at the Annual Meeting, are deemed present for purposes of determining a quorum for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment, unless a new record date is set for the adjourned meeting. This is true even if you abstain from voting with respect to any matter brought before the Annual Meeting. As of April 14, 2025, we had 28,011,229 shares of common stock outstanding; thus, we anticipate that the quorum for our Annual Meeting will be 14,005,615 shares.
    How many votes does a stockholder have per share?
    Our stockholders are entitled to one vote for each share held.
     
    2

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
     
    What is the required vote on each proposal?
    Directors are elected by a plurality vote; the candidates up for election who receive the highest number of votes cast, up to the number of directors to be elected, are elected. Stockholders do not have the right to cumulate their votes.
    The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast will be required to ratify the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. to serve as our independent registered public accountants; and to adopt, on a non-binding, advisory basis, a resolution to approve the compensation of our named executive officers.
    How will the proxy be voted, and how are votes counted?
    If you vote by proxy (either voting on the Internet, by telephone or by properly completing and returning a paper proxy card that you receive upon requesting written proxy materials), the shares represented by your proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting as you instruct, including any adjournments or postponements of the meeting. If you return a signed proxy card but no voting instructions are given, the proxy holders will exercise their discretionary authority to vote the shares represented by the proxy at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements as follows:
    1.   “FOR” the election of director nominees Alan Gold, Gary Kreitzer, Scott Shoemaker, Paul Smithers and David Boyle.
    2.   “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.
    3.   “FOR” the approval on a non-binding advisory basis of the compensation of our named executive officers.
    If you hold your shares in your broker’s name (sometimes called “street name” or “nominee name”), you must provide voting instructions to your broker. If you do not provide instructions to your broker, your shares will not be voted in any matter on which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote, which generally includes non-routine matters. A vote that is not cast for this reason is called a “broker non- vote”. Broker non-votes will be treated as shares present for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present at the meeting, but they will not be considered present for purposes of calculating the vote on a particular matter, nor will they be counted as a vote FOR or AGAINST a matter or as an abstention on the matter. Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), which is the stock exchange on which our common stock is listed, the ratification of our appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm is considered a routine matter for broker voting purposes, but the election of directors and advisory vote on compensation of our named executive officers are not considered routine matters. It is important that you instruct your broker as to how you wish to have your shares voted, even if you wish to vote as recommended by the Board.

    PROPOSAL 1
    ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
    Our Board currently consists of six members, each of whose term expires at the Annual Meeting. As previously announced, David Stecher and Mary Curran will each retire from the Board at the Annual Meeting. In light of the retirement of Mr. Stecher and Ms. Curran as directors, the Board has reduced the size of the Board from six to five directors, effective as of the Annual Meeting.
    Our Board has nominated and recommends for election as directors the five individuals named herein to serve until the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualified. All of the nominees, except David Boyle, are presently directors of the Company and following the Annual Meeting, there will be no vacancies on the Board. Directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Cumulative voting is not permitted. Broker non-votes and abstentions, if any, will not be treated as votes cast and as a result, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for this proposal. If any of the nominees should be unable to serve or should decline to do so, the discretionary authority provided in the proxy will be exercised by the proxy holders to vote for a substitute nominated by the Board on the recommendation of the nominating and corporate governance committee. The Board does not believe at this time that any substitute nominees will be required. There are no family relationships between any of our directors or executive officers. Our directors are not automatically re-nominated annually, as we continue to review the composition of the Board in an effort to ensure the Board represents stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in various areas. We believe that all of our current Board members have demonstrated business acumen and an ability to exercise sound judgment, as well as possess the professional and personal qualifications and a commitment of service to the Company and the Board.
    Recommendation of the Board
    Our Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR each of the nominees set forth below.
    Information Regarding Nominees
    We believe a company’s reputation for integrity and serving its stockholders responsibly is of critical importance. We are committed to managing the Company for the benefit of our stockholders and are focused on maintaining good corporate governance. Our first priority in nominating directors is ensuring that the Board as a whole has expertise in areas aligned with our unique business activities, namely owning and managing specialized industrial properties, including regulated cannabis facilities leased to tenants holding the requisite state licenses to operate in the regulated cannabis industry. We may diversify our portfolio, however, by also investing in properties that are not related to the cannabis industry. We believe that each of our director nominees brings a focused set of skills in one or more areas aligned with our overall business strategy.
    In addition to the challenges that any real estate owner faces, due to our involvement in the regulated cannabis industry, our Board and management team have developed specific experience and skills over the past several years to assist the Company in navigating these issues.
    Director qualifications are determined by what the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes to be the essential competencies required to effectively serve on our Board. We believe our Board, as a whole, is well positioned to guide the Company toward enhancing the long-term interests of our stockholders. Members of our Board are kept informed of our business through discussions with our management, primarily at meetings of our board of directors and its committees, and through reports and analyses presented to them. Our Board believes that the Company will be best served by directors with a wide array of talents and perspectives to drive innovation, promote critical thinking, and enhance discussion. Each of the qualifications meaningfully adds to our Board’s depth.
    The following chart highlights the specific experience, qualifications, attributes, and skills of our Board based on their education, prior experience and other characteristics. We believe the combination of the skills

    Additional Information Regarding the Board and Corporate Governance
    Board Independence
    Our Board has determined that each of our director nominees, except for Messrs. Gold and Smithers, has no material relationship with our Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with our Company) and is “independent” within the meaning of our director independence standards, which include the NYSE director independence standards, as currently in effect.
    Furthermore, our Board has determined that each of the members of each of the audit committee, the compensation committee and the nominating and corporate governance committee has no material relationship with our Company (either directly or as a partner, stockholder or officer of an organization that has a relationship with our Company) and is “independent” within the meaning of our director independence standards. While Mr. Kreitzer is credited as a co-founder of the Company, he never served as an employee and has retained independence since the Company’s formation.
    Board Meetings
    Our Board held 6 meetings during fiscal year 2024. Each of the directors attended 100% of meetings of our Board and the meetings of committees of our Board on which he or she served.
    To ensure free and open discussion among the independent directors of the Board, regularly scheduled executive sessions are held, at which only independent directors are present. The person nominated by the independent directors serves as the presiding director at each such executive session.
    Board Leadership Structure and Role in Risk Oversight
    Our Board is composed of two of our executive officers, Mr. Gold and Mr. Smithers, and three independent directors. The board composition and the corporate governance provisions in our charter ensure strong oversight by independent directors. The Board’s committees, audit, nominating and corporate governance and compensation, are composed entirely of independent directors. Our Board does not have a policy on whether the same person should serve as both the chief executive officer and chairman of the Board or, if the roles are separate, whether the chairman should be selected from the independent directors. Our Board understands that there is no single, generally accepted approach to providing Board leadership and believes that it should have the flexibility to periodically determine the leadership structure that is best for
    ​
     
    8

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
     
    our Company. Consistent with this understanding, our independent directors consider the Board’s leadership structure on an annual basis.
    We believe it is beneficial to have a chairman of the Board whose focus is to lead the board and facilitate communication among directors and management. We believe this structure, of not combining the roles of the chairman of the Board and the chief executive officer, is the best governance model for our company and our stockholders. Mr. Gold, as executive chairman of the Board, is involved in both our day-to-day operations, including overall oversight of the Company’s management team, mission and culture and the strategic decision making at the Board level. The Board continues to believe that Mr. Gold is currently the director best suited to lead the full Board in his role as executive chairman because he is the director most familiar with the Company’s business and industry, including deep real estate expertise across markets and cycles, as well as extensive public REIT operating experience, and the director most capable of effectively identifying strategic priorities and leading the development, evaluation, and execution of strategy. The Board believes that Mr. Gold’s leadership skills have been critical to the growth and success of the Company and is best suited to guide the Company toward enhancing the long-term interests of our stockholders.
    In addition, Mr. Kreitzer, one of our independent directors, serves as vice chairman of the Board. In this capacity, Mr. Kreitzer serves as liaison and meets regularly with officers and other directors generally between meetings, presides over all Board meetings where the executive chairman is not present, including in executive sessions of independent directors, and may call meetings of the independent directors and set the agenda for such meetings.
    Our Board plays an active role in overseeing the management of our risks. While it is management’s responsibility to identify and manage our risk exposure on a day-to-day basis, the Board routinely discusses these risks with management and actively oversees our risk-management procedures and protocols. The Board receives reports from senior management on areas of material risk to the Company, including operational, financial, legal, regulatory, cybersecurity, and strategic risks. The committees of our Board assist our full Board in risk oversight by addressing specific matters within the purview of each committee. The audit committee focuses on oversight of financial risks and cyber security; the compensation committee focuses primarily on risks relating to executive compensation plans and arrangements; and the nominating and corporate governance committee focuses on reputational and corporate governance risks, including the independence of our Board. Our Board also oversees risk by means of the required approval by our Board for significant transactions and other decisions, including material acquisitions or dispositions of property, material capital markets transactions, and significant capital improvement projects.
    Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
    There were no insider participations or compensation committee interlocks among the members of the compensation committee during fiscal year 2024. At all times during fiscal year 2024, the compensation committee was comprised solely of independent, non-employee directors.
    Board Composition
    The Board reflects a highly-engaged group of directors, with each director devoting the time and effort necessary to be a responsible and productive member of the Board. Pursuant to its charter, in identifying candidates to recommend for election to the Board, the nominating and corporate governance committee considers the following criteria: (1) personal and professional integrity, ethics and values, (2) experience in corporate management, such as serving as an officer or former officer of a publicly held company, and a general understanding of marketing, finance and other elements relevant to the success of a publicly traded company in today’s business environment, (3) experience in our industry and with relevant social policy concerns, (4) diversity of experience, profession and background, both on an individual level and in relation to the Board as a whole, (5) experience as a board member of another publicly held company, (6) academic expertise in an area of our operations and (7) practical and mature business judgment, including ability to make independent analytical inquiries. The nominating and corporate governance committee evaluates and determines the appropriate and desirable mix of characteristics, skills and experience for the Board as a whole, as well as the qualifications and attributes of individual directors and candidates, with the objective
     
    9

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
     
    of assembling a group that can best perpetuate the success of the business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of sound judgment using its diversity of experience in these various areas.
    In determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the nominating and corporate governance committee also considers the director’s past attendance at meetings and participation in and contributions to the activities of the Board. Current directors who are willing to continue service and who have qualifications and skills that are generally consistent with the nominating and corporate governance committee’s criteria for service are generally re-nominated. Our directors, qualification criteria and the effectiveness of our nomination policies are reviewed annually by the nominating and corporate governance committee.
    Identifying and Evaluating Nominees for Directors
    As to new candidates, the nominating and corporate governance committee will generally poll Board members and members of management for their recommendations and may also hire a search firm if deemed appropriate to identify and perform background due diligence on potential candidates, with a focus on creating a pool of qualified director candidates through a robust search process. An initial slate of candidates will be presented to the chair of the nominating and corporate governance committee, who will then make an initial determination as to the qualification and fit of each candidate. Candidates will be interviewed by the executive chairman and independent Board members. The nominating and corporate governance committee will then approve final director candidates and, after review and deliberation of all feedback and data, will make its recommendation to our Board.
    The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider appropriate nominees for directors whose names are submitted in writing by a stockholder of our Company. Recommendations received from stockholders will be considered and processed and are subject to the same criteria as are candidates nominated by the nominating and corporate governance committee. Nominations must be addressed to the Secretary of Innovative Industrial Properties, Inc., at our principal executive office, 1389 Center Drive, Suite 200, Park City, Utah 84098, and must indicate the nominee’s qualifications and other relevant biographical information and provide confirmation of the nominee’s consent to serve as director, if elected. To be considered for the next annual election of directors, any such written request must comply with the requirements set forth in our bylaws and below under “Stockholder Proposals.”
    As previously disclosed, our Board is committed to engaging a diverse field of directors when considering Board composition in the future. With this comes the commitment that as Board seats become available, the nominating and corporate governance committee will continue to actively identify qualified women and individuals from underrepresented groups to include in the pool from which Board nominees are chosen. The nominating and corporate governance committee is confident that with this commitment, individuals with diverse personal characteristics will have significantly better representation and visibility within the pool of Board candidates from which future Board members will be selected and nominated.
    The foregoing notwithstanding, if we are legally required by contract or otherwise to permit a third party to designate one or more of the directors to be elected or appointed (for example, pursuant to articles supplementary designating the rights of a class of preferred stock to elect one or more directors upon a dividend default), then the nomination or appointment of such directors shall be governed by such requirements.
    Each of the nominees for election as director at the Annual Meeting is recommended by the nominating and corporate governance committee to stand for reelection.
    Director Evaluations
    The Board is committed to conducting regular evaluations of itself, its committees and individual directors. Each year, directors meet in executive sessions to conduct these evaluations, utilizing detailed Board, committee and individual director written questions as a basis for such discussions. These questions cover numerous topics at the Board and committee levels, including but not limited to feedback regarding general board practices and areas for improvements; an evaluation of individual director skill sets and
     
    10

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
     
    contributions, including in the context of the evolving needs of the Company; and the overall effectiveness of the Board and its committees in overseeing and guiding the Company.
    Board Succession Planning
    The Board is continually evaluating its effectiveness and believes that the current Board members are highly engaged and provide the appropriate diversity and depth of experience to guide the Company. As we completed our initial public offering and consummated the acquisition of our first property in December 2016, each of our Board members’ tenure on the Board is less than nine years.
    While our current Board members are highly dedicated as long-term directors to provide us guidance in a rapidly evolving industry, our nominating and corporate governance committee is committed to ensuring a smooth transition of skills, experience and diversity of perspective as retirements occur.
    Compensation of Directors
    In 2024, each non-employee director received an annual retainer of $75,000 in cash (except in the case of Mr. Kreitzer, who serves as vice chairman of the Board and received an annual retainer of $150,000 in cash) and an annual retainer of $160,079 payable in restricted shares of common stock or restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s 2016 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”) (except in the case of Mr. Kreitzer, who received an annual retainer of $200,099 payable in restricted shares of common stock or RSUs under the Incentive Plan), which vest in their entirety one year from the date of grant. The audit committee chair received an additional annual retainer of $10,000 in cash and any other committee chair received an additional annual retainer of $5,000 in cash. All non-employee directors were reimbursed for their costs and expenses in attending our Board meetings. The Company also will grant $160,000 in restricted shares of common stock or RSUs under the Incentive Plan to each non-employee director who is initially elected or appointed to the Board on the date of such initial election or appointment, which vest in their entirety one year from the date of grant. A non-employee director who is elected to the Board on the date of an annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders shall only receive the annual retainer of $160,000 in restricted shares of common stock or RSUs and will not also receive an initial award. Any member of our Board who is also an employee of our Company did not receive additional compensation for serving as a director.
    RSUs are settled in shares of our Company’s common stock. Directors may defer settlement of the RSUs pursuant to the Company’s Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “NQDC Plan”) and may also defer cash payments under the NQDC Plan.
    The table below summarizes the compensation paid by the Company to non-employee directors or earned by the non-employee directors for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

    Stockholder Engagement
    We recognize that regular engagement with our stockholders is essential to understanding their priorities and ensuring best practices are maintained across our business. Through an open and ongoing dialogue with stockholders, we ensure that diverse perspectives are considered in our decision-making process.
    In 2024, we undertook significant stockholder outreach efforts specifically focused on executive compensation. We engaged in proactive and extensive outreach with our stockholders, including reaching out to stockholders representing approximately 60% of our total shares of common stock outstanding, and, for those interested in speaking to us, we held calls with stockholders representing 20% of the total shares outstanding.
    During our conversations with stockholders, we discussed various topics, including executive compensation and Board composition and structure. In addition to internal management engaging with stockholders, our Board, including Mr. Stecher, a member of the compensation committee, participated in specific calls, which provided stockholders with direct access to the Board. We report the details of our communications with stockholders to our nominating and corporate governance committee, compensation committee, and Board, as applicable. This dialogue allows our directors to hear what is most important to our stockholders and share perspectives on our compensation and governance processes. The Board considers stockholder feedback and endeavors to address matters discussed in the best interests of our company and our stockholders.
    Please refer to page 23 (Previous Year’s Say-on-Pay Votes) for changes that were made in response to our engagement with stockholders.

    INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
    The audit committee of our Board has appointed BDO USA, P.C. to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025, and our Board has directed that management submit the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm for ratification by our stockholders at the Annual Meeting. BDO USA, P.C. has audited our financial statements since our inception in 2016. Representatives of BDO USA, P.C. are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. Such representatives will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.
    Audit and Non-Audit Fees.   The aggregate fees billed to us by BDO USA, P.C., our independent registered public accounting firm, for the indicated services for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

    Audit fees consist of fees for professional services performed by BDO USA, P.C. for the audits of our annual financial statements, reviews of our interim financial statements, services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings or engagements and professional services rendered for the audit of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting. For the year ended December 31, 2024, audit fees also include fees for professional services performed by BDO USA, P.C. in connection with issuances of comfort letters of approximately $200,300. For the year ended December 31, 2023, audit fees also include fees for professional services performed by BDO USA, P.C. in connection with issuances of comfort letters of approximately $102,000.
    ​
    Our audit committee has established a policy that requires all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm be pre-approved by the audit committee or a designated audit committee member. These services may include audit services, audit related services, tax services and other services. Our audit committee considers whether the provision of non-audit services is compatible with maintaining the accountants’ independence and determined that it is consistent with such independence.
    Stockholder ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm and may decide to retain the firm, even in the absence of stockholder ratification. Even if the appointment is ratified, the audit committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company.
    The affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on the proposal at the Annual Meeting is required for the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as our independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions, if any, will not be treated as votes cast and as a result, will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for this proposal.
    Recommendation of the Board
    Our Board recommends that stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of BDO USA, P.C. as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2025.

    Audit Committee Report
    The audit committee of the Board oversees the Company’s financial accounting and reporting processes and the integrated audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Company. All committee members satisfy the definition of independent director set forth in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. The Board has adopted a written charter for the audit committee, a copy of which is available in the “Investors” section of our website (www.innovativeindustrialproperties.com).
    In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited consolidated financial statements in the annual report on Form 10-K, including a discussion of the quality, and not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, and the clarity of disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.
    The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, BDO USA, P.C., is responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. BDO USA, P.C. met with the committee and expressed its judgment as to the quality, not just the acceptability, of the Company’s accounting principles and discussed with and provided the committee written communication regarding other matters as required under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), including those matters required under Auditing Standard No. 1301 (Communications with Audit Committees). In addition, BDO USA, P.C. discussed the auditors’ independence from the Company and the Company’s management and delivered to the audit committee the written disclosures and the letter satisfying the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the auditors’ communications with the audit committee concerning independence.
    The committee discussed with BDO USA, P.C. the overall scope and plan of its integrated audit. The committee meets with BDO USA, P.C., with and without management present, to discuss the results of its integrated audit and reviews, its evaluations of internal controls, and the overall quality of financial reporting. The audit committee performed and discussed evaluations of BDO USA, P.C., the Company’s internal auditor and the Company’s chief financial officer.
    In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the committee has recommended that the audited consolidated financial statements be included in the annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
    This report of the audit committee shall not be deemed incorporated by reference by any general statement incorporating by reference this proxy statement into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, except to the extent that the Company specifically incorporates this information by reference, and shall not otherwise be deemed filed under such acts.

    PROPOSAL 3
    ADVISORY VOTE ON THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
    In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking our stockholders to vote on a non-binding, advisory basis to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the executive compensation tables narrative that follow. Our Board has determined that we will hold future advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis until the next required non-binding advisory vote on the frequency of such votes on executive compensation.
    In an effort to align the interests of management with those of our stockholders, our compensation program focuses on pay-for-performance principles that focus on the achievement of both short-term and long-term financial and operational metrics. Our compensation mix rewards the continued performance of the Company, encourages a disciplined approach to management, and maintains focus on the creation of long-term value for our stockholders. As we describe in further detail in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, we believe that the experience, abilities, and commitment of our executive officers are unique in the business of investing in real estate and are therefore critical to the long-term achievement of our investment goals. Accordingly, the primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to retain our key leaders, attract future leaders and align our executive officers’ long-term interest with the interests of our stockholders.
    The extensive experience and commitment of our named executive officers (three out of the four named executive officers have been with the Company since our first year of operations; Mr. Smith joined the Company in 2023, and also brings decades of experience with public and private REITs, including companies focused on real estate for the regulated cannabis industry) provide the Company with unique skillsets in the business of acquiring, leasing and managing highly specialized, mission-critical real estate for regulated cannabis operations. This team combines decades of proven institutional REIT management with an in depth understanding of the regulatory and operational nuances of the regulated cannabis industry, which we believe have been critical to our past achievements and remain critical to the continued execution of our Company’s long-term strategy.
    In connection with reviewing our compensation program and the 2024 compensation paid to our named executive officers, it is important to consider the Company’s financial results achieved during 2024 in the backdrop of a continued challenging macroeconomic environment, especially as it pertained to the regulated cannabis industry. From the Company’s initial public offering through December 31, 2024, our Company achieved a total stockholder return of 389%, significantly outperforming the MSCI US REIT Index’s and S&P 500’s total stockholder returns during the same time period of 64% and 207%, respectively. These performance results are discussed in detail in the “Executive Compensation” section of this proxy statement.
    The affirmative vote of a majority of votes cast at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, is required to approve this proposal. An abstention or broker non-vote will have no effect on the outcome of the vote for this proposal.
    Recommendation of the Board
    Our Board recommends that stockholders vote for the approval on a non-binding, advisory basis, of the compensation of our named executive officers.

    2024 Business Performance Overview
    Despite the headwinds faced by the regulated cannabis industry specifically in 2024, we focused on executing our long-term and annual strategies that included re-leasing approximately 530,000 square feet or 6% of our total portfolio, bringing our total occupancy to 96.6%. We also focused on further strengthening our liquidity position and strong balance sheet with the upsizing of our credit facility to $87.5 million and continuing our track record of increasing our dividend each year since our inception in 2016.
    Highlights for 2024 include the following:
    •
    Consistent Revenue and Bottom-Line Performance:   Although our pace of investment activity slowed significantly in 2024, existing property portfolio performance resulted in total revenues of $308.5 million in 2024, total net income attributable to common stockholders of $159.9 million and adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) of $256.1 million. Our change in total revenues and AFFO over the past seven years is depicted in the charts below (in millions):

    2024 Compensation Elements
    We believe that the compensation of our executive officers aligns their interests with those of the stockholders in a way that encourages prudent decision-making, links compensation to our overall performance, provides a competitive level of total compensation necessary to attract and retain talented and experienced executive officers and motivates the executive officers to contribute to our success. In addition to base salary and cash incentive awards, all of our executive officers are eligible to receive equity-based compensation under the Incentive Plan.

    ​ ​ ​
    Based on the compensation committee’s assessment of the aforementioned factors, annual base salaries were increased by approximately 5% for continuing executives (Mr. Smith’s 2024 base salary as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table appears more than 5% higher than 2023 because 2023 reflects only approximately nine months of employment from March through December 2023).

    ​ ​
    ​ ​ Annual Cash Incentive Opportunity ​ ​ ​ Annual cash incentive awards that reward corporate and individual performance. We sought to enhance the pay-for-performance alignment of our incentive compensation programs in 2024 with a new annual cash incentive plan that tied 50% of the plan to pre-established formulaic financial and strategic objectives and the remaining 50% to each executive’s individual performance. ​ ​ ​ Based on the compensation committee’s assessment of performance versus the 2024 corporate goals established by the compensation committee at the beginning of 2024, as well as individual performance, the compensation committee awarded annual cash incentives as shown in the Summary Compensation Table for 2024 at 95% of target. ​ ​
    ​ ​ Long-Term Equity Incentive Compensation ​ ​ ​ Equity awards that align the interests of executives with those of stockholders and promote the retention of key talent through multi-year vesting. ​ ​ ​ In 2024, as in 2023, the compensation committee granted restricted stock or RSUs that vest in three equal annual installments, subject to the executive’s continued employment on each vesting date. The Company continues to evaluate various long-term incentive plan designs. However, in light of the challenges in the cannabis industry, the Company did not change its plan during 2024. ​ ​
    The charts below illustrate the mix between compensation elements provided to our named executive officers in 2024:
    —
    79% of our chief executive officer’s and, on average, 80% of our other named executive officers’ total target direct compensation was variable (or “at-risk”).   “At-risk” pay is determined based on the achievement of corporate and individual performance objectives under the annual cash incentive plan or stock price performance, comprising time-vesting equity awards vesting over three-year periods and annual cash incentives.
    ​
    —
    49% of our chief executive officer’s and, on average, 48% of our other named executive officers’ total target direct compensation (restricted stock/RSUs), on average, was tied directly to stock price performance.

    depended on the assessment of executive performance by the compensation committee and the actual value realized from the long-term equity incentive awards will depend directly on the performance of the Company’s share price over the service period during which the long-term equity awards vest.
    Previous Years’ Say-on-Pay Votes
    We provide our stockholders with an annual advisory “say-on-pay” vote on the compensation of named executive officers. We conducted our first advisory say-on-pay vote in 2020. In the four years from 2020 to 2023, our stockholders expressed substantial support for the compensation of our named executive officers, where we received (on average) more than 93% of votes cast “FOR” our executive compensation program. In 2024, only 73% of the votes cast were in support of our 2023 executive compensation program. We believe our compensation program, as described below, reflects a strong alignment with the Company’s performance. Stockholders noted concerns about the prior annual cash incentive programs being 100% discretionary. Therefore, in response to stockholder feedback and in an effort to improve pay-for-performance alignment, we established a new annual cash incentive plan for 2024 that is tied 50% to pre-established formulaic financial and strategic objectives and the remaining 50% to each executive’s individual performance. We also continue to explore ways to make our long-term incentive program more performance-based, each as described under the heading “Overview of Executive Compensation Program Changes for 2025 and Future Considerations.”
    Compensation Process
    Roles of the Compensation Committee, Consultants and Management
    The Board established the compensation committee to carry out the Board’s responsibilities to administer our compensation programs. The compensation committee has the final decision-making authority for the compensation of our executive officers. The compensation committee operates under a written charter adopted by the compensation committee and approved by the Board. The charter is available in the “Investors” section of our website (www.innovativeindustrialproperties.com). Information that is presented or hyperlinked on our website is not incorporated by reference into this proxy statement.
    Our compensation committee has independent authority to engage outside consultants and obtain input from external advisers as well as our management team or other employees.
    The compensation committee may retain any independent counsel, compensation consultant or other experts or advisors that it believes to be desirable and appropriate. The compensation committee may also use the services of the Company’s regular legal counsel or other advisors to the Company. The compensation committee undertakes an independent assessment prior to retaining or otherwise selecting any independent counsel, compensation consultant, search firm, expert or other advisor that will provide advice to it, taking such factors into account and as otherwise may be required by the NYSE from time to time. On at least an annual basis, the compensation committee evaluates whether any work by any compensation consultant it has engaged raised any conflict of interest.
    The compensation committee engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) as its independent executive compensation consultant to provide data on market practices and advice on program design in support of our business strategy. When requested, one or more representatives of FW Cook attend meetings of our compensation committee. In connection with the engagement of FW Cook to provide advice on these executive compensation program matters, the compensation committee evaluated the independence of FW Cook in light of the rules regarding compensation committee advisor independence mandated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”). The compensation committee reviewed factors, facts and circumstances regarding compensation consultant independence, including a letter from FW Cook addressing FW Cook’s and their consulting team’s independent status with respect to the following factors: (1) other services provided to us by FW Cook; (2) fees we pay to FW Cook as a percentage of their total revenues; (3) FW Cook’s policies and procedures that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; (4) any business or personal relationship between FW Cook or members of their consulting team that serves the compensation committee and a member of the compensation committee; (5) any shares of our stock owned by FW Cook or members of their consulting team that serves the compensation committee; and (6) any business or personal relationships between our executive officers and

    FW Cook or members of their consulting team that serves the compensation committee. After discussing these factors, facts and circumstances, the compensation committee affirmed the independent status of FW Cook and concluded that there are no conflicts of interest with respect to FW Cook.
    Our executive chairman and chief executive officer typically attend compensation committee meetings, except for executive sessions (unless specifically requested by the compensation committee to be present). Each of our executive chairman and chief executive officer may provide recommendations with respect to compensation for the executive officers. The compensation committee considers these recommendations, but may approve, reject or adjust them as it deems appropriate.
    Regulated Cannabis Industry Considerations
    The experience and commitment of our named executive officers (three out of the four named executive officers had been with the Company since our first year of operations; Mr. Smith joined the Company in 2023, and brings decades of experience with public and private REITs, including companies focused on real estate for the regulated cannabis industry) provide the Company with unique skillsets in the business of acquiring, owning, leasing and managing highly specialized, mission-critical real estate for regulated cannabis operations. This team combines decades of proven institutional REIT management with an in depth understanding of the regulatory and operational nuances of the regulated cannabis industry, which we believe have been critical to our past achievements and remain critical to the continued execution on our Company’s long-term strategy.
    The regulated cannabis industry is subject to risks and uncertainties that are highly unique in comparison to traditional industries, which also impact our Company and our management team. In particular, notwithstanding the proliferation of state-level medical-use and adult-use cannabis programs across the United States, cannabis remains a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970, meaning that the manufacture, distribution and dispensing of cannabis remains illegal under U.S. federal law. This regulatory uncertainty at the federal level has represented and continues to represent a significant risk to the Company and each member of the management team individually, which are generally not risks faced by management teams at other publicly-traded REITs. These risks include, but are not limited to, the potential for strict enforcement of existing federal law (which could encompass actions including, without limitation, asset forfeitures and criminal prosecution), onerous federal taxation on cannabis-related operations, very limited access to federal courts generally and for bankruptcy situations specifically, and the significant uncertainty regarding how the future federal regulatory landscape will evolve. In addition, this regulatory uncertainty has created operational challenges from time to time, many of which continue to exist, including limited access to banking services and financing options for us and our tenants, and limited access to service providers across a number of disciplines that are important for our Company’s and our tenants’ businesses.
    Furthermore, the development of the regulated cannabis industry has not been at all uniform on a state- by-state basis, as programs vary significantly in their rules and licensing structures, in addition to the overlay of local jurisdictions’ own rules and requirements. This has resulted in a myriad of different programs with different results across states, requiring in-depth analysis of the development of these markets and new programs as they come online. We rely significantly on the regulatory and operational experience and long-term commitment of our executive team to continue to evaluate these markets and make well-informed investment decisions, in a highly fragmented, high growth and rapidly evolving industry.
    For a more detailed discussion of these risks and other unique risks and considerations faced by our Company and management team with our focus on the regulated cannabis industry, see Item 1, Business, and Item 1A., Risk Factors, in our annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2024, which was filed with the SEC on February 21, 2025.
    For these reasons, among others, the compensation committee determined that formal benchmarking to a comparative “peer group” provides limited value. Although publicly-traded REITs of similar size to our Company exist, their businesses are fundamentally different, such that they are not direct competitors for executive talent. Our Company is the only publicly-traded equity REIT focused on the regulated cannabis industry and traded on a primary exchange in the United States, serving a highly unique industry subject to ongoing federal regulatory uncertainties and a rapidly evolving business environment. Notwithstanding

    the foregoing, our compensation committee intends to continue to evaluate the usefulness and potential adoption of a peer group in the future, as a part of its periodic evaluation of our executive compensation program overall.
    Compensation Components in Detail
    Our compensation program consists of three elements:
    Base Salary
    Adjustments to base salary for our named executive officers are determined by the compensation committee in its discretion and are based upon a review of a variety of factors, including the following:
    •
    individual and Company performance, measured against quantitative and qualitative goals, such as growth, financial performance and other matters;
    ​
    •
    duties and responsibilities as well as the named executive officer’s experience, including with respect to specific experience and skills applicable to the regulated cannabis industry operations and regulations; and
    ​
    •
    the types and amount of each element of compensation to be paid to the named executive officer.
    ​
    In 2024, the compensation committee approved the changes to our named executive officers’ base salaries indicated below, effective as of January 1, 2024, based on the compensation committee’s assessment of the Company’s financial and operational performance and its evaluation of each named executive officer’s individual performance:
    ​
    Executive
    ​ ​
    2024 Annual
    Base Salary
    ​ ​
    2023 Annual
    Base Salary
    ​ ​
    Percentage Change
    from 2023 to 2024
    ​
    ​ Alan Gold ​ ​ ​ $ 1,300,000 ​ ​ ​ ​ $ 1,238,600 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5.0% ​ ​
    ​ Paul Smithers ​ ​ ​ ​ 1,067,000 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 1,016,400 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5.0% ​ ​
    ​ David Smith(1) ​ ​ ​ ​ 420,000 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 400,000 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5.0% ​ ​
    ​ Brian Wolfe(2) ​ ​ ​ ​ 405,000 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 385,000 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 5.2% ​ ​
    ​
    (1)
    Effective March 29, 2023, Mr. Smith was appointed as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Mr. Smith’s annual base salary for 2023 was $400,000; his base salary actually earned for 2023 due to mid-year appointment was $304,615.
    ​
    (2)
    Mr. Wolfe resigned as an employee and officer of the Company effective as of January 9, 2025.
    ​
    The increases in annual base salaries from 2023 and 2024 for all executive officers related in part to adjustments for higher experienced inflation in the U.S. economy during this time period. In addition, the increases in annual base salaries for Messrs. Gold and Smithers from 2023 to 2024 related to individual performance in leading the Company to strong performance and providing key strategic guidance in the context of a continued challenging macroeconomic environment for the cannabis industry. The increase in annual base salary for Mr. Smith from 2023 to 2024 related to his individual performance in guiding the Company’s finance and accounting functions in executing on the business, including establishing a new credit facility for the Company. The increase in the annual base salary for Mr. Wolfe from 2023 to 2024 related to his individual performance in overseeing the Company’s legal function, including managing legal execution of capital raising, investment and disposition efforts and litigation matters.
    Annual Cash Incentive Awards
    Our executive annual incentive program is intended to reward our executive officers for individual achievement in supporting the fulfillment of corporate objectives. Our goal is to have a significant portion of the executive officers’ compensation consist of annual cash incentives awarded based on the financial and operational performance of the Company.
    As previously disclosed, commencing in 2024, the compensation committee, with advice from FW Cook, established a new annual cash incentive plan that more formulaically focuses opportunities and payouts on the achievement of specific, pre-established financial and strategic performance objectives.

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
     
    The compensation committee approved the following target annual incentives as percentages of base salary for our named executive officers for 2024.
    ​
    Executive
    ​ ​
    2024 Target Annual Incentive
    (As a Percentage of Base Salary)
    ​
    ​ Alan Gold ​ ​ ​ ​ 175% ​ ​
    ​ Paul Smithers ​ ​ ​ ​ 140% ​ ​
    ​ David Smith ​ ​ ​ ​ 140% ​ ​
    ​ Brian Wolfe ​ ​ ​ ​ 140% ​ ​
    As previously discussed, the compensation committee does not benchmark executive compensation opportunities to a “peer group,” because there are no other publicly-traded equity REITs in our unique industry. Therefore, the compensation committee determined these target opportunities by considering the significant risks that the regulatory uncertainty of the regulated cannabis industry at the federal level brings, which are generally not risks faced by management teams at other publicly-traded REITs.
    Actual earned annual incentive amounts could be zero if performance is below threshold on all measures, or could range from 50% to 150% of each executive’s target amount. To determine earned amounts, the compensation committee evaluated the Company’s overall performance in 2024 based on the following metrics, which were established by the compensation committee at the beginning of 2024:
    1)
    Achieve AFFO per Diluted Share (Weighted 12.5%)
    ​
    The committee established the following AFFO per diluted share goals for 2024:
    ​
    Threshold Achievement
    ​ ​ ​ $ 8.35 ​ ​
    ​
    Target Achievement
    ​ ​ ​ $ 8.79 ​ ​
    ​
    Maximum Achievement
    ​ ​ ​ $ 9.23 ​ ​
    We believe that AFFO per diluted share, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors because it is a widely accepted industry measure of the operating performance of REITs that is used by industry analysts and investors who evaluate and compare those companies. In particular, AFFO per share is included in the compensation program because it provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of REITs without having to account for differing depreciation assumptions and other unique revenue and expense items, which we believe are not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. Therefore, we determined that AFFO per share is an appropriate performance metric, and that the most appropriate GAAP performance metric to which AFFO per share should be reconciled is net income available to common stockholders per share. Our AFFO per share target was set at 3% below our 2023 AFFO per share in light of the continued challenges facing the cannabis industry, including continued wholesale pricing pressures, lack of enforcement of the illicit market and a challenging tax structure for our tenants due to Internal Revenue Code Section 280E. In addition, we took possession of multiple properties from defaulted tenants in 2023, which was expected to reduce our rental revenues and increase our operating expenses for 2024 until the properties could be leased to new tenants. We made assumptions about the amount of time each of these properties would be vacant, while factoring in the possibility that unexpected events could impact AFFO per share, resulting in the committee setting the AFFO per diluted share target at $8.79. Our actual AFFO per diluted share for 2024 was $8.98, which resulted in a payout of 122% of target for this component of the annual cash incentive plan, or approximately 15% of the total target cash incentive after application of the 12.5% weighting, driven by faster than expected releasing of several of our vacant properties. A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders to AFFO is included in Appendix A of the proxy statement.
    2)
    New Investments (Weighted 12.5%)
    ​
    The committee established the following new investment goals for 2024:
    ​
    Threshold Achievement
    ​ ​
    $50 million
    ​
    ​
    Target Achievement
    ​ ​
    $75 million
    ​
    ​
    Maximum Achievement
    ​ ​
    $100 million
    ​
     
    26

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
     
    For purposes of these guidelines, “investments” includes (a) acquisitions (purchase prices, excluding transaction costs) with the dollar amounts determined at the time of closings; (b) lease amendments or other commitments to provide additional funding for construction at projects that results in an increase in contractual rent due; and (c) loan investments, with the dollar amount for those transactions in sections (b) and (c) determined at the time of commitment.
    We believe that expending capital for new investments is important to our business strategy because it typically increases our overall earnings per share and assists in growing and diversifying our portfolio of investments. Our new investments for 2024 were $73.2 million, which resulted in a payout of 96% of target for this component of the annual cash incentive plan, or approximately 12% of the total target cash incentive after application of the 12.5% weighting.
    3)
    Line of Credit Capacity (Weighted 12.5%)
    ​
    The committee established the following line of credit capacity goal for December 31, 2024:
    ​
    Threshold Achievement
    ​ ​
    $30 million
    ​
    ​
    Target Achievement
    ​ ​
    $45 million
    ​
    ​
    Maximum Achievement
    ​ ​
    $60 million
    ​
    For purposes of these guidelines, “line of credit capacity” consists of total capacity (whether drawn or not) under any revolving line of credit or similar instrument, measured as of December 31, 2024.
    We believe increasing our line of credit capacity is important to our business as it provides additional liquidity to improve our strong balance sheet and provides additional capital to grow our business. Our line of credit capacity as of December 31, 2024 was $87.5 million, which resulted in a payout of 150% of target for this component of the annual cash incentive plan, or approximately 19% of the total target cash incentive after application of the 12.5% weighting.
    4)
    Occupancy Percentage (Weighted 12.5%)
    ​
    The committee established the following occupancy percentage goal for December 31, 2024:
    ​
    Threshold Achievement
    ​ ​ ​ ​ 90% ​ ​
    ​
    Target Achievement
    ​ ​ ​ ​ 92% ​ ​
    ​
    Maximum Achievement
    ​ ​ ​ ​ 94% ​ ​
    For purposes of these guidelines, “occupancy percentage” includes pre-leased properties, and is calculated by dividing (a) the total invested / committed capital of the leased and pre-leased properties by (b) the total invested / committed capital of the total portfolio.
    The stability of operating revenue is fundamental to the business model of any dividend-paying entity. Within the REIT industry, this takes the form of stability of rental revenue secured by tenants occupying the portfolio’s real estate assets. As a result, maintaining a sufficiently high occupancy rate is of vital importance to the health of our business model and, as such, it is essential that we orient our operating strategy towards maximizing asset utilization as measured by the portfolio occupancy metric. We set our target occupancy rate at just under 1% below our year-end 2023 level, taking into account the ongoing challenges in the cannabis industry and revised leasing assumptions for several properties we regained from defaulted tenants during 2023. In setting the occupancy percentage target of 92%, the committee considered many variables such as the lease expiration schedule, past vacant resolution activity, and expected market conditions. Our occupancy percentage as of December 31, 2024 was 96.6%, which resulted in a payout of 150% of target for this component of the annual cash incentive plan, or approximately 19% of the total target cash incentive after application of the 12.5% weighting.
    5)
    Individual/Strategic Goals (Weighted 50%)
    ​
    While 50% of the annual incentive opportunity was tied to the formulaic financial and operational objectives outlined above, the remainder was tied to the committee’s more subjective assessment of each
     
    27

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
     
    executive’s individual performance. The compensation committee used the following process to assess individual performance, and applied judgment in assessing individual performance at the end of the performance year:
    •
    At the beginning of 2024, our compensation committee worked with our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) to identify general categories that would be used to guide a subjective assessment of individual performance.
    ​
    •
    After the end of the year, the CEO evaluated each named executive officer’s performance, other than his own, and recommended to the compensation committee the percentages that should be earned under the individual performance component.
    ​
    •
    The compensation committee engaged in a discussion with the CEO regarding his recommendations and his assessments and made the final determination regarding this metric.
    ​
    •
    The compensation committee engaged in a review of the CEO’s performance as it relates to our performance, as well as the state of our industry and market competitive practices, in determining the percentage that the CEO earned under his individual performance component.
    ​
    The compensation committee assessed the qualitative performance for each of Mr. Gold, Mr. Smithers, and Mr. Smith, which accounted for 50% of their overall target cash incentive opportunity. While each executive’s individual performance was strong, the compensation committee ultimately determined that the qualitative portion of the annual cash incentive was achieved below the target level. The compensation committee assessed the qualitative component based on each executive’s ability to appropriately manage, among other things, 1) tenant defaults and the releasing of properties by attracting new tenants and controlling operating costs at the properties we took possession of and 2) further strengthening our liquidity position and strong balance sheet by establishing new relationships with four banks expanding participation in our credit facilities. The compensation committee subjectively assessed their qualitative performance below target, at approximately 30% to reflect the impact of reduced shareholder returns caused by a significant tenant default in December 2024. Based on the performance levels achieved as described above and the respective weightings of each component, the aggregate payout under our annual cash incentive plan was 95% of target. The amounts of the annual cash incentives earned by our named executive officers for the 2024 fiscal year on this basis are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table. Annual cash incentives were approved by the compensation committee and paid in February 2025.
    Equity Awards
    Overview
    We have adopted the Incentive Plan, under which awards may be made in the form of RSUs, restricted stock, PSUs or cash. The purposes of the Incentive Plan are to attract and retain qualified persons upon whom, in large measure, our sustained progress, growth and profitability depend, to motivate the participants to achieve long-term Company goals and to more closely align the participants’ interests with those of our other stockholders by providing them with a proprietary interest in our growth and performance. Our executive officers, officers, employees, consultants and non-employee directors are eligible to participate in the Incentive Plan.
    The Incentive Plan is administered by our compensation committee, which interprets the Incentive Plan and has broad discretion to select the eligible persons to whom awards will be granted, as well as the type, size and terms and conditions of each award, including the amount of cash or number of shares subject to awards and the expiration date of, and the vesting schedule or other restrictions (including, without limitation, restrictive covenants) applicable to, awards.
    Unless the Incentive Plan is earlier terminated by our Board, the Incentive Plan will automatically terminate on the date which is ten years following the effective date of the Incentive Plan. Awards granted before the termination of the Incentive Plan may extend beyond that date in accordance with their terms.
    We generally grant annual equity-based awards during the first half of our fiscal year, although such timing may change from year to year. The compensation committee also may consider and approve interim or mid-year grants, or grants made on another basis, from time to time based on business needs, changing
     
    28

    TABLE OF CONTENTS​
     
    compensation practices or other factors, in the discretion of the compensation committee. The compensation committee does not take into account material nonpublic information in determining the timing and terms of equity-based awards, and we have not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.
    Restricted Stock and RSUs
    In 2024, we used restricted stock and RSU grants as the primary means of delivering long-term compensation to our executive officers. Shares of restricted stock and RSUs are forfeitable until the lapse of the applicable restrictions. We believe that restricted stock and RSU grants with multi-year vesting periods align the interests of executive officers and stockholders and provide strong incentives to our executive officers to achieve long-term growth in our business, grow the value of our common stock and maintain or increase our dividends. The executive officers personally benefit from these efforts through their restricted stock awards and RSUs, which receive dividends (or dividend equivalents with respect to RSUs) at the same rate as common stock and increase in value as the value of our common stock increases.
    Our compensation committee determines the restrictions for each award granted pursuant to the Incentive Plan. Vesting of restricted stock or RSUs will generally be subject to annual vesting periods of three years and will be conditioned upon the participant’s continued employment, among other restrictions that may apply.
    In January 2024, Messrs. Gold, Smithers, Wolfe and Smith were granted the following shares of restricted stock or RSUs:
    ​
    Executive
    ​ ​
    2024 Restricted
    Stock
    (1)
    ​ ​
    2024 RSUs(1)

    ​ Alan Gold ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 38,124 ​ ​
    ​ Paul Smithers ​ ​ ​ ​ 27,231 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​
    ​ David Smith ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 10,893 ​ ​
    ​ Brian Wolfe(2) ​ ​ ​ ​ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ 9,804 ​ ​
    ​
    (1)
    These shares and RSUs are released from forfeiture restrictions ratably on January 1, 2025, January 1, 2026 and January 1, 2027 for each of named executive officers, provided that he continues to be an employee of the Company or a non-employee member of the Board on each such date. Mr. Gold, Mr. Smith and Mr. Wolfe elected to defer settlement of the RSUs pursuant to the Company’s NQDC Plan.
    ​
    (2)
    Mr. Wolfe resigned as an employee and officer of the Company effective as of January 9, 2025. 9,242 unvested RSUs were forfeited as a result of his resignation.
    ​
    The committee determined the number of shares of restricted stock and/or RSUs to grant to each of our named executive officers in 2024 based on each named executive officer’s contributions to date and expected role in executing on the Company’s strategy over the next three years.
    Performance Shares Units Granted in 2022
    In January 2022, our compensation committee granted PSUs (the “2022 PSUs”) to our named executive officers, pursuant to which each PSU represented the right to receive one share of our common stock if the applicable performance goals were achieved. The number of 2022 PSUs earned was based on the Company’s TSR over a period commencing January 11, 2022 and ending on December 31, 2024. At the end of this performance period, any earned 2022 PSUs would vest and be settled in shares of common stock at a rate depending on the Company’s TSR over this performance period as compared to two different comparator groups: (1) 26 real estate companies; and (2) the companies in the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REIT Index. The grant date fair values of the 2022 PSUs granted to Messrs. Gold, Smithers and Wolfe were $9,000,194, $6,000,129, and $2,000,043, respectively. At December 31, 2024, the performance thresholds for the vesting of the 2022 PSUs were not met for any of the applicable awards, and the 2022 PSUs were forfeited in their entirety pursuant to the terms of the agreements.
    Overview of Executive Compensation Program Changes for 2025 and Future Considerations
    The compensation committee continues to evaluate the long-term incentive program, and is still considering re-introducing a program under which a substantial portion of the long-term incentive awards
     
    29

    TABLE OF CONTENTS​
     
    granted are in the form of performance share units, the number of which, if any, will be earned based on pre-established performance objectives measured over a multi-year, specified performance period. The Company believes that the foregoing changes to its executive compensation program will further enhance the nexus between corporate and individual performance and executive compensation levels by providing a stronger formulaic link between executive compensation and the achievement of specific, objectively measurable goals.
    Other Compensation Policies
    Other Benefits
    We provide benefits such as a 401(k) plan, medical, dental and life insurance and disability coverage for all of our employees, including our executive officers. We also provide personal paid time off and other paid holidays to all employees, including the executive officers, which are similar to those provided at comparable companies. We believe that our employee benefit plans are an appropriate element of compensation and are necessary to attract and retain employees.
    In 2020, we adopted the NQDC Plan, which permits our key employees, including our named executive officers, to choose to defer up to specified maximum amounts of compensation by contributing those amounts to the NQDC Plan. The NQDC Plan is described below under the heading “Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for 2024.”
    Clawback Policy
    Our Board has adopted a formal clawback policy in compliance with the amended clawback listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange to implement the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s previously adopted recoupment rules in accordance with Section 954 of the Dodd-Frank Act. Pursuant to the clawback policy, certain incentive-based compensation received by our executive officers on the basis of financial results that are later restated may be subject to recovery. Our clawback policy is filed as an exhibit to our annual report on Form 10-K.
    Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies
    To ensure proper alignment with our stockholders, we have established policies that prohibit our directors, officers, other employees, and their family members from engaging in any transaction that might allow them to realize gains from declines in our securities. Specifically, we prohibit our directors, officers, employees, and their family members from engaging in transactions using derivative securities, short selling our securities, trading in any puts, calls or covered calls, writing purchase or call options and short sales, or otherwise participating in hedging, “stop loss,” or other speculative transactions involving our securities. In addition, margin purchases of our securities and pledging any of our securities as collateral to secure loans is prohibited. This prohibition means that our directors, officers, employees, and their family members are not permitted to hold our securities in a “margin account” nor are they permitted to pledge any of our securities for any loans.
    Agreements with Our Named Executive Officers
    As described in greater detail below under “Severance and Change of Control Agreements,” each of our named executive officers has a severance and change of control agreement. These agreements provide for certain benefits if the named executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause” or by the named executive officer for “good reason” ​(each as defined in the applicable severance and change of control agreement) (a “Qualifying Termination”), and the benefits vary depending on whether the Qualifying Termination occurs within two years after a change of control of the Company. In addition, executives may receive certain benefits on a qualifying termination (a “Qualifying Termination”).
    “Cause” is defined in these agreements generally to include a termination of employment due to (1) willful and continued failure substantially to perform the executive’s duties after a written demand, (2) willful commission of an act of fraud or dishonesty resulting in economic or financial damage, (3) conviction of, or entry of a guilty or no contest plea to, the commission of a felony or a crime involving
     
    30

    moral turpitude, (4) willful breach of fiduciary duty that results in economic or other damage, or (5) a willful and material breach of the executive’s covenants in the agreement.
    “Good reason” is defined in the agreements generally to include certain resignations of employment following (1) a material diminution of authority, duties or responsibilities, (2) a material diminution of annual base salary, (3) a material change in geographic location or (4) a material breach of any agreement pursuant to which the executive provides services.
    The agreements define a “change of control” generally to include (1) certain changes in the ownership of the Company resulting from a person or group acquiring ownership of more than 50% of the total fair market value of the stock of the Company, (2) certain changes in the effective control of the Company resulting from the acquisition of stock possessing more than 30% of the total power of the stock of the Company, or a change in the majority of our Board in a 12-month period that is not approved by a majority of the incumbent directors, or (3) certain changes in the ownership of the Company’s assets representing more than 50% of the gross fair market value of the assets of the Company.
    The agreements define a Qualifying Termination generally to include a voluntary termination of employment after the executive has (1) reached age 65 or (2) reached age 55 with ten years of service or (3) reached an age that, when added to years of service, equals at least 75 and, in each case, has complied with specified notice requirements.
    We believe these triggering events are customary and appropriate to enhance our named executive officers’ ability to continue to focus on the performance of the Company and the best interests of our stockholders in the event of a potential strategic transaction without undue concern for the impact of the transaction on their continued employment.

    Represents matching contributions made by us to each of our executive officers pursuant to a retirement savings plan that we maintain under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to cover our eligible employees, including our executive officers. The plan allows eligible employees to defer, within prescribed limits, up to 100% of their compensation through contributions to the plan. We currently match each eligible participant’s contributions, within prescribed limits, with an amount equal to 50% of such participant’s initial contributions up to 6% of such participant’s compensation. In addition, we reserve the right to make additional discretionary contributions on behalf of eligible participants. Dividends on unvested restricted stock are excluded from all other compensation for all periods presented, as they are factored into the determinations of the grant date fair values of the corresponding stock awards as described in the footnotes below.

    We did not provide any defined benefit pension plans in which our named executive officers participated during 2024. Accordingly, we have not included a Pension Benefits table in this proxy statement. At December 31, 2024, the performance thresholds for the vesting of the 2022 PSUs were not met for any of the applicable awards, and the 2022 PSUs were forfeited in their entirety pursuant to the terms of the agreements.
    Nonqualified Deferred Compensation for 2024
    Executive officers, directors and other key employees may choose to defer up to specified maximum amounts of compensation by contributing those amounts to our NQDC Plan, which was established effective as of January 1, 2020. For 2024, the NQDC Plan allowed for deferrals of up to 80% of an employee’s base salary, 100% of an employee’s bonus and 100% of director fees, as well as 100% deferral of settlement of vested RSUs for both employees and directors. No director or employee received matching or other contributions from the Company in 2024 in connection with these deferrals.
    Deferred amounts are credited to each participant’s account, which is deemed invested in one or more investment alternatives chosen by each participant from a range of mutual fund offerings and other investments available under the NQDC Plan. Each participant’s account is adjusted to reflect the investment performance of the selected investments. Benefits under the plan are payable in cash and generally will be paid in either a lump sum or in annual installments over a certain term upon retirement, death or other termination of employment, or upon a change in control of the Company, as elected in advance by the participant. A participant also may elect to receive some or all of the deferred amounts and related earnings pursuant to an in-service distribution, subject to a minimum three-year deferral.
    The following table sets forth summary information regarding the contributions to and earnings on the Company’s executive officers’ deferred compensation balances during 2024, and the total deferred amounts for the Company’s executive officers as of December 31, 2024.

    deferred under the NQDC Plan. These RSUs are payable in shares of the Company’s common stock but, pursuant to the terms of each executive officer’s deferral of the RSUs, payment does not occur until the applicable date as determined under the NQDC Plan. In accordance with applicable rules of the SEC, these RSUs are reflected in this table because, while the RSUs are considered to have been vested at the end of 2024, they had not yet become payable. None of the named executive officers deferred cash payments under the NQDC Plan for 2024. The grant-date fair values of these RSUs were reported as compensation to each executive in the Summary Compensation Table in 2023.

    The amount reported as aggregate earnings (losses) in 2024 represents the change in value of each executive’s vested and deferred RSUs from January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2024 and the value of dividend equivalents that were paid during 2024. The right to receive dividend equivalents was factored into the determination of the grant date fair value, which means that the value of the dividend equivalents included in “Aggregate Earnings in Last Fiscal Year” was effectively already included in the Summary Compensation Table.

    Mr. Wolfe resigned as an employee and officer of the Company effective as of January 9, 2025.
    ​
    Severance and Change of Control Agreements
    We entered into severance and change of control agreements with Mr. Gold, Mr. Smithers and Mr. Wolfe that became effective on January 18, 2017. We also entered into a change of control agreement with Mr. Smith that became effective on March 29, 2023. Except as provided below, each of the severance and change of control agreements with the named executive officers contains substantially similar terms.
    The severance and change of control agreements each expire on December 31, 2025, but they include automatic renewal provisions under which they automatically renew for successive three-year terms unless either party gives written notice of non-renewal within 90 days before the end of the then-current term.
    The severance and change of control agreements provide that, if a named executive officer’s employment is terminated by the Company in a Qualifying Termination, the executive will be entitled to severance payments and certain benefits, subject to certain conditions specified below.
    If the named executive officer experiences a Qualifying Termination, other than within two years of a “change of control” ​(as defined in the applicable severance and change of control agreement), (a) the executive will receive (i) a cash payment equal to the sum of his annual base salary and his average annual cash bonus during the past three years, multiplied by three, with respect to Gold and Smithers, and two, with respect to Smith and Wolfe, and (ii) 18 months of premiums the executive would be required to pay to continue health plan coverage under the Company’s health plans; and (b) the executive’s unvested equity awards subject to time-based vesting will vest on a pro-rated basis and the executive’s performance-based equity awards will be earned on a pro-rated basis based on the level of achievement as of such date of termination.
    In the event of a Qualifying Termination of the executive within two years after a change of control of the Company, in addition to the compensation set forth above, all unvested equity awards subject to time-based vesting will vest immediately, and all unearned performance-based equity awards will vest at the greater of actual performance or target. In addition, if an executive has a Qualifying Retirement, then the executive’s unvested restricted stock or RSUs will vest on the date of retirement.
    The severance and change of control agreements require each executive to sign a general release of claims against the Company as a condition of receiving the severance payment. In addition, for one year after termination of employment for any reason, the executive is prohibited from directly or indirectly soliciting (a) any of the Company’s employees to leave the Company or (b) any prospective employees negotiating with the Company on the date of termination to cease negotiations. The executive is also required to provide consulting services to the Company for up to 20 hours per month during the six months after any termination of employment and requires the executive to maintain the confidentiality of the Company’s confidential information.
    If the executive retires for other than good reason and gives the Company a specified advance notice before retiring, or if the executive dies or terminates employment because of disability, all unvested stock
     
    35

    TABLE OF CONTENTS​
     
    rights awards that vest based on continued employment will vest immediately on the date of such retirement or termination. The executive will remain eligible to receive performance shares awarded under the Company’s equity incentive plans before his termination if the Company achieves the stated performance goals during the remainder of the performance period, as if the executive’s employment had not terminated. To qualify for these benefits on retirement, the executive must retire after a specified age or with a combination of age plus years of service, depending on the benefit in question, as well as give the Company the required number of years of advance notice of retirement.
    The severance and change of control agreements also provide that severance payments are subject to recoupment as required by any recoupment policy approved by the Board.
    If an executive’s employment is terminated by the Company for cause or by the executive without good reason (and other than for death, disability or a qualifying retirement), the executive will not be entitled to any severance payment or benefits under the severance and change of control agreement.
    None of the severance and change of control agreements provide for tax gross-up payments to the executive if any amounts paid or payable to the executive would be subject to the excise tax imposed on certain so-called “excess parachute payments” under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
    Termination and Change of Control Scenario Table
    The table below reflects the amount of compensation that each of our named executive officers would be entitled to receive under his or her existing severance and change of control agreement with the Company upon termination of such executive’s employment in certain circumstances. The amounts shown assume that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2024, and are only estimates of the amounts that would be paid out to such executives upon termination of their employment. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company. In the event of a termination by the Company for cause or by the executive without good reason, including in connection with a change of control, such executive would not be entitled to any of the amounts reflected in the table. We have not included Mr. Wolfe in the table below because he resigned effective January 9, 2025 and did not receive any enhanced benefits or payments in connection with this resignation.

    For a Qualifying Termination within two years of a “change of control,” Qualifying Retirement, death or disability, amount is equal to each named executive officer’s total unvested restricted stock awards and RSUs on December 31, 2024 multiplied by our common stock closing price on December 31, 2024 of $66.64 per share. For a Qualifying Termination other than within two years of a “change of control,” amount is equal to each named executive officer’s pro rata restricted stock awards and RSUs that would vest on December 31, 2024 multiplied by our common stock closing price on December 31, 2024 of $66.64 per share.

    Fair value or change in fair value, as applicable, of equity awards in the “Compensation Actually Paid” columns was determined by reference to (1) for restricted stock and RSU awards, closing price on applicable year-end dates or, in the case of vesting dates, the actual vesting price, and (2) for PSU awards, the fair value calculated by a Monte Carlo simulation model as of the applicable year-end date(s). For the portion of “Compensation Actually Paid” that is based on year-end stock prices, the following prices were used: for 2024: $66.64 (34% decrease from prior year) for 2023: $100.82 (less than 1% decrease from prior year), for 2022: $101.35 (61% decrease from prior year), for 2021: $262.91 (44% increase from prior year), and for 2020: $183.13 (141% increase from prior year).

    Total stockholder return (“TSR”) represents our cumulative TSR, calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between our share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by our share price at the beginning of the measurement period. Peer Group TSR reflects the cumulative TSR of the MSCI US REIT Index (the “REIT Index”), which includes all tax-qualified equity REITs listed in the United States, as reflected in the stock performance graph in Part II, Item 5. of our annual report on Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2024. Each year reflects what the cumulative value of $100 invested as of immediately prior to January 1, 2020 would be as of the applicable date, calculated on a dividends reinvested basis.

    Adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”) per share, a non-GAAP financial measure, provides useful information to investors because it is a widely accepted industry measure of the operating performance of REITs that is used by industry analysts and investors who look at and compare those companies. It provides an additional measure to compare the operating performance of REITs without having to account for differing depreciation assumptions and other unique revenue and expense items, which we believe are not pertinent to measuring a particular company’s on-going operating performance. The most appropriate GAAP performance metric to which AFFO should be reconciled is net income available to common stockholders per share. For a reconciliation of AFFO per share to net income available to common stockholders per share, see Appendix A of this Proxy Statement.

    Pay versus Performance Tabular List
    The table below lists our most important performance measures used to link “Compensation Actually Paid” for our NEOs to company performance, over the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. AFFO per share, line of credit capacity, new investments and occupancy percentage were used as factors evaluated by the compensation committee, among other considerations, in determining the annual cash incentive payments to NEOs for the 2024 performance year. As described in prior proxy statements, the large majority of equity awards granted to NEOs in 2022 were in the form of PSUs, with total stockholder return over a three-year period versus two comparator groups being the sole determinant for vesting. The PSUs granted in 2022 failed to vest in their entirety at the end of their performance period on December 31, 2024. The performance of each of these PSU grants had a significant impact on the “Compensation Actually Paid” for each of our NEOs.

    Executive Chairman and CEO Pay Ratios
    Pursuant to Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Act and applicable SEC rules, we have prepared the ratio of the annual total compensation of our executive chairman, Mr. Gold, and our chief executive officer, Mr. Smithers, to the median of the annual total compensation of our other employees. Set forth below is a description of the methodology, including material assumptions, adjustments and estimates, we used to identify the median employee for purposes of calculating these ratios:
    •
    We identified the median employee using our employee population on December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2024, we had a total population of 20 employees, including full-time, part-time and temporary employees, other than our executive chairman and chief executive officer. All of our employees are located in the United States.
    ​
    •
    We identified the median employee by considering the following three elements of compensation: 2024 base salary, annual cash incentives earned in 2024, and equity awards granted in 2024 (at the grant date fair value). For permanent employees (full-time and part-time) hired after January 1, 2024, we annualized the aforementioned components.
    ​
    Using the methodology described above, we selected the median of our employee population. For fiscal year 2024, the median of the annual total compensation of our employees (other than our executive chairman and chief executive officer) was $225,807, and the annual total compensation of Mr. Gold and Mr. Smithers was $6,975,930 and $4,999,273, respectively. Based on this information, the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Gold to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees other than our executive chairman and chief executive officer was 31 to 1 and the ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Smithers to the median of the annual total compensation of all employees other than our executive chairman and chief executive officer was 22 to 1. The annual total compensation of Messrs. Gold and Smithers presented for this purpose is equal to the compensation reported for them in the “Summary Compensation Table” included in this proxy statement.
    The pay ratios above represent our reasonable estimates calculated in a manner consistent with SEC rules and applicable guidance. SEC rules and guidance provide significant flexibility in how companies identify the median employee, and each company may use a different methodology and make different assumptions particular to that company. As a result, and as explained by the SEC when it adopted these rules, in considering the pay ratio disclosure, stockholders should keep in mind that the rule was not designed to facilitate comparisons of pay ratios among different companies, even companies within the same industry, but rather to allow stockholders to better understand and assess each particular company’s compensation practices and pay ratio disclosures.
    Neither the compensation committee nor our management used these pay ratio measures in making compensation decisions.
    Compensation Risk Assessment
    The compensation committee reviews our Company-wide incentive programs to assess whether the incentive programs for all employees, including our named executive officers, encourage desirable behavior as it relates to our long-term growth, and reflect our risk management philosophies, policies and processes.
    Named Executive Officers.   The compensation committee exercises discretion and evaluates the annual cash incentive program based on financial, operational, and individual goals. The compensation committee has also sought to align the interests of our key employees and named executive officers with that of our
     
    41

    TABLE OF CONTENTS
     
    stockholders through grants of restricted stock and RSU awards, thereby giving employees additional incentives to protect and align with long-term value creation.
    All Other Employees.   Other officer and non-officer employee compensation awards are unlikely to encourage the taking of unnecessary or excessive risks that could threaten long-term value creation.
    Management monitors the cash and equity incentive awards made to our employees and reviews those awards in light of the potential risks relative to the control environment, each respective employee’s responsibilities, and the general policies and procedures of our Company. Key employees also receive grants of restricted stock and RSU awards.
    Based on its evaluation, the compensation committee does not believe that the compensation programs give rise to any risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our Company.

    SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
    Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our executive officers and directors and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities to file with the SEC and the NYSE reports of ownership of our securities and changes in their ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC rules to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports that they file.
    Based solely upon a review of the reports on Forms 3 and 4 and amendments thereto furnished to us in 2024 and Forms 5 and amendments thereto furnished to us with respect to 2024, or written representations from reporting persons that no Form 5 filings were required, we believe that in 2024 our executive officers, directors and greater than 10% owners timely filed all reports they were required to file under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
    We have adopted a written policy regarding the review and approval of any related party transaction. Under this policy, our audit committee will review the relevant facts and circumstances of each related party transaction, including if the transaction is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s-length dealings with an unrelated third party and the extent of the related party’s interest in the transaction, and either approve or disapprove the related party transaction. Any related party transaction shall be consummated and shall continue only if the audit committee has approved in advance the transaction in accordance with the guidelines set forth in the policy. For purposes of our policy, a “Related Party Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) requiring disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC, or any successor provision, as then in effect, except that the $120,000 threshold stated therein shall be deemed to be $60,000.
    Mr. Gold utilizes a private airplane from time to time for Company business travel purposes, which airplane is owned by an entity controlled by Mr. Gold, our executive chairman. We reimburse Mr. Gold for the Company-related use of the airplane by Mr. Gold, including out-of-pocket operating costs, on terms we believe are comparable to those we could secure from an independent third party. Our Company’s decision to utilize Mr. Gold’s private airplane exclusively for business travel purposes was made to provide greater flexibility and time-savings for business travel of our management team, including meetings with investors and prospective business partners. As approved by our audit committee, approximately $87,000 and $84,000 were paid to Mr. Gold on account of such expenses for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our audit committee has also approved such reimbursements by the Company to Mr. Gold for utilization of Mr. Gold’s private airplane for business travel purposes on an ongoing basis, for an amount not to exceed $200,000 for the year ending December 31, 2025.
    OTHER MATTERS
    As of the date of this proxy statement, management does not know of any other matters to be brought before the Annual Meeting other than those set forth herein. However, if any other matters are properly brought before the Annual Meeting, the persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all proxies with respect to such matters in accordance with their best judgment.
    STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
    Stockholders who wish to include a proposal in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders must be received by us no later than December 30, 2025. Such proposals must comply with the requirements established by the SEC in order to be included in the proxy statement. A stockholder who wishes to make a director nomination or proposal of other business at the 2026 annual meeting without including the proposal in our proxy statement and form of proxy relating to that meeting must, in accordance with our current bylaws, notify us between November 30, 2025 and 5:00 p.m., Pacific Time, on December 30, 2025. If the stockholder fails to give timely notice as required by our current bylaws, the nominee or proposal will be excluded from consideration at the meeting. In addition, our current bylaws include other requirements for director nominations and proposals of other business with which a stockholder must comply to make a nomination or business proposal.
    AVAILABILITY OF ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K
    Upon written request of any record holder or beneficial owner of shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, we will provide, without charge, a copy of our 2024 annual report to stockholders.

    DELIVERY OF PROXY MATERIALS TO HOUSEHOLDS
    Some banks, brokers and other nominee record holders may be participating in the practice of “householding” proxy statements and annual reports. This means that only one copy of our proxy statement and annual report to stockholders may have been sent to multiple stockholders in your household. The Company will promptly deliver a separate copy of any of these documents to you if you contact us at the following address: 11440 West Bernardo Court, Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92127, Attention: Catherine Hastings, Corporate Secretary, or telephone number: 858-997-3332.

    Amount reflects the non-refundable interest paid on the seller-financed note issued to us by the buyer in connection with our disposition of a portfolio of four properties in southern California, which is recognized as a deposit liability and is included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, as the transaction did not qualify for recognition as a completed sale.

    Amount reflects the non-refundable lease payments received on two sales-type leases which are recognized as deposit liability starting on January 1, 2024, and is included in other liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, as the transaction did not qualify for recognition as a completed sale. Prior to the lease modifications on January 1, 2024, which extended the initial lease terms, the leases were classified as operating leases and the lease payments received were recognized as rental and therefore, included in net income attributable to common stockholders.
